GDP Growth Highlights

The US

Stronger-than-expected growth at the end of 2017 and passage of the Republicans’ long-awaited tax cuts have led us to raise US GDP growth forecast to 2.3% in 2018 and 2.2% in 2019.

Eurozone

The Eurozone economy outperformed in 2017, with private sector optimism close to levels of the early 2000s. GDP growth will remain significantly above the trend, reaching 2.2% in 2018 and 1.9% in 2019.

The UK

Brexit uncertainty is expected to weigh on investments, while low income growth and consumer confidence should depress spending growth. UK GDP is forecast to grow by 1.4% in 2018 and 1.3% in 2019.

Japan

Economic growth in Japan is backed by robust investment and exports demand. However, wage growth remains weak hindering spending. We expect GDP to grow by 1.2% in 2018 and 0.9% in 2019.

China

Strong public investment, robust consumption growth and improving foreign demand support growth in China. We have lifted real GDP growth forecast to 6.5% in 2018 and 6.3% in 2019.

Brazil

Low inflation and interest rates, along with falling unemployment, support consumer spending in Brazil. GDP growth has finally turned positive, and is likely to reach 2.4% in 2018 and 2.5% in 2019.

Russia

Russia’s economic rebound has turned softer than expected, despite the steady increase in oil prices. The real GDP growth forecast has been downgraded to 1.3% in 2018 and 1.7% in 2019.

India

India’s economy has started to lift up from the joint disruption of demonetisation and GST reforms. Further strengthening is likely, with GDP growth of 7.4% in 2018 and 7.5% in 2019.
